Audrey Carrington Gallente Avoid Paying Taxes	Posted - 2011.02.02 03:04:00 - [1] [Vexor, Carrington] Power Diagnostic System I Power Diagnostic System I Shield Power Relay I Shield Power Relay I Invulnerability Field I Large Shield Extender I Large Shield Extender I Dual 150mm Railgun I, Lead Charge M Dual 150mm Railgun I, Lead Charge M Dual 150mm Railgun I, Lead Charge M Dual 150mm Railgun I, Lead Charge M [empty high slot] I only have remaining CUP 2.3, so I do not think I can fit anything else in the empty high slot until I train up more. I am using this for the missions COSMOS in Lirsautton and the missions Federal Navy Level 1 in Mirilene. Before this ship, I was using a frigate Imicus with drones Hobgoblin I. Will this setup work for missions Level 2? Thank you for answers!

Led Zeppelin420	Posted - 2011.02.02 05:12:00 - [4] Like many others i fly caldari so i dont know much about armor tanking other than plates but thats a good place to start. Get an afterburner to start with in the mids.

Frank Millar Gallente	Posted - 2011.02.02 05:53:00 - [6] Off the top of my head, Vexor, level 2 Medium Armor Repairer I 3x Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane I 10MN Afterburner I 2x Cap Recharger I 3x Dual 150mm Railgun I, Antimatter Charge M Small Tractor Beam I Salvager I 3x CCC for rigs 5x Hobgoblin I 5x Hammerhead I Just so it's affordable. As said, no shield tank on a ship with just a few midslots. And don't ever mix shield and armor tank on one ship, ever.

My Postman	Posted - 2011.02.02 14:33:00 - [8] I don&t know whats going on today, but the troll is strong in this thread, don&t bother Audrey. All (most) of those fittings are ridiculous. Your GOAL will be something like this: Low: Mission specific hardener II Mission specific hardener II Energized adaptive nano membrane II Medium Armor Repairer II Med: 10MN Afterburner II Cap Recharger II Cap Recharger II High: Drone Link Augmentor I Small Tractor Beam I Salvager I Heavy Neutron Blaster II, Antimatter Charge M Heavy Neutron Blaster II, Antimatter Charge M Rigs: Medium Anti Expolsive Pump I Medium Capacitor Control Circuit I Medium Capacitor Control Circuit I Drones: 5 x Hobgoblin II 5 x Warrior II 5 x Hammerhead II Downgrade every T2 Module to T1 till you can fit it, you&ll still be fine in L2&s. Hope this helps.
Aion Amarra Minmatar Real Nice And Laidback Corporation Black Core Alliance	Posted - 2011.02.02 14:36:00 - [9] Listen to Frank or Postman, ignore everyone else. Don't troll newbies, seriously. >:
Serge Bastana Gallente GWA Corp	Posted - 2011.02.02 17:19:00 - [10] Postman's fit is a pretty reasonable one, use blasters if you're comfortable with them though you may prefer rails for range, Vexors aren't really built for shield tanking, you can get away with it on a Myrmidon but I'd train some mechanic skills for armour tanking. ------------------------------------------------ Quafe is people!

Rich Aurillia	Posted - 2011.02.02 18:18:00 - [11] I agree, some really wild fits up there. Postman's fit will work best and I agree with putting railguns on it instead of blasters. Railguns are super weak but have MUCH more range. As your drones are going to do most of the damage, many people use rails just to get the bad guys attention so they shoot at you instead of your drones. Also make sure you understand what is meant by "mission specific hardener" - this will help a little Linkage. This is how I would fit my Vexor: Low: Mission specific hardener II Mission specific hardener II Damage Control II Medium Armor Repairer II Med: 10MN Afterburner II Cap Recharger II Cap Recharger II High: Drone Link Augmentor I Small Tractor Beam I Salvager I 250mm railgun II, Tungsten Charge M 250mm railgun II, Tungsten Charge M Rigs: Medium Capacitor Control Circuit I Medium Capacitor Control Circuit I Medium Capacitor Control Circuit I Drones: 5 x Hobgoblin II 5 x Hammerhead II backup drones or whatever Good luck and go get 'em!
Zahira Wrath Amarr Dominion Strategic	Posted - 2011.02.02 19:07:00 - [12] Edited by: Zahira Wrath on 02/02/2011 19:11:06 Rich Aurillia pretty much sums it up. His setup is very good. However here is a non T2 setup for a newbie with low sp: (that should handle lvl2s pretty easily) [Vexor, Lvl2] N-Type EM Hardener I (Change this depending on your rat N-Type Thermic Hardener I Medium 'Accommodation' Vestment Reconstructer I Magnetic Vortex Stabilizer I Eutectic I Capacitor Charge Array Eutectic I Capacitor Charge Array Eutectic I Capacitor Charge Array 200mm Prototype I Gauss Gun, Antimatter Charge M 200mm Prototype I Gauss Gun, Antimatter Charge M 200mm Prototype I Gauss Gun, Antimatter Charge M 200mm Prototype I Gauss Gun, Antimatter Charge M Drone Link Augmentor I Medium Capacitor Control Circuit I Medium Capacitor Control Circuit I Medium Capacitor Control Circuit I Hobgoblin I x5 Hammerhead I x5 Main points: 1.as others have said, dont shield tank a vexor. Shield tanks use alot of mid slots, and the vexor dosent have very many at all. 2.change the damage hardeners to match the specific damage types that the NPC rats you are fighting deal. I.e if your fighting Guristas, fit KINETIC and TERMIC plating, if your fighting Blood Raiders fir EM and TERMIC platic. Good luck out there!
Audrey Carrington Gallente Avoid Paying Taxes	Posted - 2011.02.02 19:58:00 - [13] That was certainly a lot of responses! I think I'll stick to the New Citizens forum for a while. I don't know what to make of you guys.

Also, cost a **** ton more. Didn't bother reading your post if you bothered to explain that. Was too busy loling at fits. --- DIE - EVE-O's SADOMASICHIST I UNDERSTAND AND DON'T CARE!
Lost Greybeard	Posted - 2011.02.02 21:20:00 - [15] Originally by: Captain Die N-Type only use less CPU and provide no extra resists. Also, cost a **** ton more. Didn't bother reading your post if you bothered to explain that. Was too busy loling at fits. He said specifically that he had issues running out of CPU. But yeah, I can easily do this without EFT: Priority 1: drones - full flight of mediums, hammerhead IIs if possible, and stick a full set of hobs in there as well. Priority 2: tank - medium armor repairer, two mission-appropriate hardeners, all capacitor control circuits in the rig slots Priority 3: control range - put one or two drone control range augmentors in high slots Priority 4: more capacitor - put in some rechargers in mid slots, to taste Priority 5: fill in tank until you run out of fitting - maybe a damage control, maybe a shield extender just in case, add propulsion for things you need to outrange, etc. Priority 6: maybe some guns or something if you feel like it ... guns on a vexor can be great for pvp. Prioritizing turrets on a gallente drone boat you're using explicitly for missions is pretty pointless and you shouldn't bother unless you've got spare grid/cpu. Watch those ship bonuses, man. --- If you outlaw tautologies, only outlaws will have tautologies. ~Anonymous
Umega Solis Mensa	Posted - 2011.02.02 22:06:00 - [16] Just go with the reasonable fits in this thread.. active armor tank with rat specific resists, AB + cap recharge.. start practicing how to pulse your repper, instead of trying for lazy-mode on all day that sacrifices rigs/slots to achieve. Something you'll need to learn for fast, effective lvl-4s. But the highs.. you stated this would be for lvl-2s.. medium sized weapons would be kinda pointless. Especially without a web.. you're going to encounter so many frigs in lvl-2s that you'd be better off fitting small sized rails. It would be more effective, faster method.. plus make the mids/lows easier on you for fitting with your low skillset. ---------------------------------------- Treat the EVE markets like you are its Pimp.. it is your 'willing' employee to fondle n use n abuse as you please.
My Postman	Posted - 2011.02.03 10:35:00 - [17] Originally by: Audrey Carrington That was certainly a lot of responses! I think I'll stick to the New Citizens forum for a while. I don't know what to make of you guys. You ARE in the right forum section, for ships and fittings, even this could be asked in the new citicens forum too. If you do not understand any advices beeing given, just ask, we&ll happily explain our elaborations (beside of the trolls). I wonder if someone told you about EFT. You should find the thread and download link here in this forum section, and after you&ve done that and injected your skills, you start fiddling around your Vexor and see what can be done with your skills. Hope this helps.
Frank Millar Gallente	Posted - 2011.02.03 10:47:00 - [18] What ^he^ said. Also, going back to the fit I offered, rat-specific hardeners are the way to go (mostly thermal/kinetic if you're in Gallente space), and fairly easy to train to tech 2 (and so is the armor repper). Tech 2 drones won't take too long either, and they'll become your damage dealers, which brings me to the guns; I kinda agree they're there for drawing aggro and with the number of frigates in level 2 missions small guns would be plenty.
Sjugar	Posted - 2011.02.03 11:43:00 - [19] A Vexor is a drone boat so your drone skill are much much more important then your gunnery skill. So T2 drone is a must. That means training Drones to V and Scout drone operation to V as fast as possible. After that to increase the damage you would have to train Combat Drone operation to IV or preferably V and Drone interfacing fir to IV and when you have time also to V. But if you're a young player you can put that off a bit but not too long. Also you want to have your gallente cruiser to IV. Don't forget to train the secondary drone skills like drone sharpshooting, but that can sit at IV for quite a long time. If you plan to go on the drone route and fly a dominix, T2 sentry drones is a good investment of time. But, once you have decent drone skill which enaqble you to kill rats fast enough, be sure to also not forget your tanking and cap skills. Hull upgrades and mechanic to V is a must, repair systems can sit at IV and can be trained to V later. That's because you need capacitor skill also otherwise you can't run your repairers long enough. You train energy management and energy systems operation for that. There is quite a few other skill you want to go for short term but that's beyond the scope of your question. Here's my vexor setup, I have trained for Sentry Drone interfacing to V so I can use garde II-s instead of hammerheads. If you go with the sentry drone an omnidirectional tracking link is a must because that enables you to apply the damage they do, otherwise their range and tracking isn't good enough.

Rawls Canardly	Posted - 2011.02.03 12:15:00 - [20] I'll be honest with you, just about any cruiser can eat a level 2 mission alive without effort. You could get by with a 2-slot shield tank, in all likelyhood, so long as you can breach 100dps tank. Stand by for EFT warrioring... [Vexor, Level 2 shield tank wtf] Shield Power Relay II Shield Power Relay II Shield Power Relay II Shield Power Relay II Afterburner II Large Shield Extender II Large Shield Extender II Dual 150mm Railgun II, Lead Charge M Dual 150mm Railgun II, Lead Charge M Dual 150mm Railgun II, Lead Charge M Dual 150mm Railgun II, Lead Charge M [empty high slot] Medium Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer I Medium Core Defense Purger I Medium Core Defense Purger I 5 Hammerhead II 5 Hobgoblin II At all level 5: 156 DPS omni tank, 317 DPS damage, 527 m/s. 8 minutes of cap. More than enough for level 2's sitting still, let alone kiting (which is what needs to happen with rails, the falloff is unforgiving.) The rigs are pricey, but they are a must for a passive shield tanker. you can get by without them, but you want to work towards it. Actually, this is not that bad. Without the two purger rigs(the em rig is dirt cheap), it'll get by with it, but you want to keep your distance. ...but running a shield tank on a Vexor is just silly.

Rawls Canardly	Posted - 2011.02.03 13:04:00 - [21] Edited by: Rawls Canardly on 03/02/2011 13:07:25 Forgot to add, she's cap stable with the guns off, so if you dip below 35% cap, just stop shooting for a moment. edit- you can also substitute the purger rigs for a thermal and kinetic rig. drops the omni tank to 118, which is more than good enough with the afterburner in use.
Noun Verber Gallente	Posted - 2011.02.03 14:09:00 - [22] What's with the lack of damage controls on the armor tanking fits?

However, not everyone wants to fly one, and hybrids are secondary damage on almost all types of mission.(with guristas it's both pirmary and secondary, which makes it far more effective) I've been thinking about doing an arbi myself, just for giggles...
